Goodbye friend until we meet again. Clay & Laura Bollman.

Jackie & family
I worked with Mac for 20 yrs in Media and he was a great, friendly and funny guy. I have many great memories of him, on and off duty. Got me out of trouble a few times. I bought his old Chevy after it was recovered, but that is another story lol.

Too many memories to isolate just one for Mac was a great story teller, the kind that peaked your interest so much that you found yourself leaning in for more with a huge smile on your face. Mac was many things, but most of all, he was a great friend and was a part of our family's lives for many years. I will always admire him and I will never forget him. You will be missed.

I was stationed at Phalsbourg Air Base in France with Tom and we lived in the base trailer park. We were promoted to in rank on the same day. My wife and Jackie had a little in France at about the same time. My Wife Ursule and daughter Karen arrived in the United States and stopped at Tom and Jackies home to spend Christmas together in December 1962. We last saw Tom and Jackie at the Phalsbourg reunion in Missouri. We have kept in touch all these years. To hear this sadness brings great sorrow and our best wishes go out to all his family.
Love,
Gene and Ursule Shabin
